A company spokesman S a,d the new store probably will be opened next August. ¦^J^^^L\^ it was learned that Sam Engel , proprietor of Smith s Meat market on South Ocea n avenue , has bought the site of Link' s Old Oak hotel on East Main street , and that the business property on the south- east corner of South Ocea n ave- nue and Terry street is being va- cated for a commercial develop- ment. A W. T . Grant spokesman said yesterday that the building will be modern and completely air con- ditioned for shoppers ' comfort. The spacious street and down- stairs store will be devoted to convenient one-stop shopping. The remainder will house stock rooms and store facilities. Planned as a \four-stores-in-one \ unit , the big new Grant' s will re- p lace the present W. T. Grant store at 69 South Ocean avenue. When completed , all depart- ments will be included in the new Grant store. It will combine a variety store , home-and-hardwares store , dry goods store and apparel cente r . There also will' be a large luncheonette . It is estimated that selling space in the new store will be ap- proximate l y 25, 200 square feet. Business will continue at the cur- rent store until the compan y an- nounces otherwise. Existing buildings on the East Main street side will be razed to accommodate the new building. The new Grant s in Patchogue is part of the company ' s program of expansion and improvement. Growing from a single store founded in 1906 by W. T. Grant , now chairman of the board , the W. T. Grant company now num- bers 490 stores with an annual volume of approximatel y $270 , - 000 , 000. George Hoffman & Sons , Inc., New York city, is the construc- tion company which was awarded Grant' s contract. Mr. Enget purchased the site of the former hotel from Charles Goldfein , who was the owner of the well-known inn when it was destroyed by file two years ago this month. Revenue stamps at- tached to the deed indicate that the price was at least $30 , 000. The property is on the north side of East Main stret and has a frontage of 187 feet. The lot is 250 deep. Mr. Engel said that he has had offers for it from several \large organizations , \ but has not decid- ed what to do with the parcel.

According to police , the latest* ¦—- looting of the station occurred late Sunday night or early Mon- day morning and was curried out despite frequent checks of the station by routine patrols of the town police department. Following the pattern of the earlier .safe heisting job in Au- gust , 1950 , the thieves broke a rjasp loc k on the door of the agent' s office and wheeled the safe out the north door of the station. Within a few hours of the dis- covery of the burg lary, the rifled safe was found on a Long Island City sidewalk with a hole drilled in its bottom and minus $~M .M in cash that Station Agent Harry Sammis repen ted was in it the •lay befo re .

Fatal Accidents Ski p This Area During Holidays Scott , Husband of Teacher , Killed Sunday in Crash Near Fulton , Up-State Maybe the poor weather dis- couraged high speed driving, may- be drivers are learning to realize the dangers of holiday tra ffic , or maybe luck played a part, but Brookhaven town managed to come through the three-day La- bor Day weekend without a traffic fatality. However , James F. Scott , an employe at the Northport Veter- ans hospital and the husband of a teacher at the Bay Avenue school here , was fatally injured Saturday night in a highway ac- cident near Fulton , in upstate New York. His wife , Mrs. Elizabeth Scott , received only minor injuries in the crash. Friends here have learned that the Scotts , who were visiting in their home town of Oswego , had been out for dinner. They were on their way back to Oswego when the accident happened. Mr . Scott was thrown from the car , and died a few minutes later. Their only child, Barbara , 3 , was with Mrs. Scott' s mother , Mrs. Morefield , who spends the winter month s in Patchogue. The Scotts had driven to Oswego to bring back Mrs. Morefield. Funeral services and burial were at Oswego. Mrs. Scott is expected back at school Tuesday. Village Accidents Patchogue Village police re- ported three accidents involving injuries. One was at 2:30 a. m. Sunday on West Main street near Lake- land avenue. A car driven by George Balvin , 29 , of Maspeth , and one driven by Spencer Pom- pey of Brooklyn collided, and Mrs .

Plum Island Showdown Slated for Capita l Today Hattemer Heads Local Delegation To See Brannan Court Action Seen Possi- bilit y If Argument Fails ; Group Cites Hazards The case against a foot-and- mouth disease research center on Plum Island will be presented to Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan this afternoon in Washington by a special commit- tee of the Suffolk County Board of Supervisors. Brookhaven Town Supervisor Philipp A. Hattemer , chairman of the county board , heads the dele- gation of town executives and county officials who will tell the stubborn Mr. Brannan that the vast majority of Suffolk residents are bitterly opposed to the loca- tion of the livestock disease labor- atory on the government-owned island off Orient Point. In their 3 p. m. audience with the secretary in his Washington office , the Suffolk spokesmen will cite both the physical and the psychological hazards involved— the danger that the virus will spread to the mainland to infect dairy herds and other livestock , and the danger that the good name of the county and of ita farm and fishery products will be ruined if Plum Island becomes \ pest island . \ They are also expected to pro- test the two hearings held at Greenport and Bridgehampton by U. S. Department of Agriculture representatives as inadequatel y noticed and unfairly conducted. There may, furthermore , be a hint that Suffolk will cross swords with Federal authority in the courts if persuasion fails to change the mind of the man who has the say as to the location ot the $10 , 000 , 000 laboratory. Making the train trip to Wash- ington , in addition to Supervisor Hattemer , were Supervisors Nor- man Klipp of Southold , Joseph V, Kelly of Riverhead and Walter , Fasbender of Huntington , and As- sistant County Attorney Lloyd P.
